This holiday, spend quality time with family and loved ones—living and dead . . .There's no place like home for the horrordays—unless you'd prefer a romantic midnight walk through a ghost-infested graveyard . . . or a haunted house candlelight dinner with the sexy vampire of your dreams. The (black) magical season is here—and whether it's a solstice séance gone demonically wrong with the incomparable Kim Harrison, a grossly misshapen Christmas with the remarkable Lynsay Sands, a blood-chilling-and-spilling New Year's with the wonderful Marjorie M. Liu, or a super-powered Thanksgiving with the phenomenal Vicki Pettersson, one thing is for certain: in the able hands of these exceptional dark side explorers, the holidays are going to be deliciously hellish!

"I didn't realize it when I started this anthology that the stories in this book (just like those in the Dates from Hell compilation) are novellas of characters in other series by these authors. Having not read any of the series, I felt a little lost in Dates from Hell and now in reading the first story, Kim Harrison's, I realized it was kind of an origin story for Rachel Morgan. I really liked the story between Rachel and Pierce here but was disappointed to learn later that Pierce apparently doesn't return to the Hollows series until way later in the books (I think book #7 is the next time). So this budding relationship between Rachel and Pierce here, which is what drew me in, doesn't exist at all in first few books of the series, which makes me ambivalent about reading the series at all. <br/><br/>As someone who hasn't read the series of any of these authors, I'd say people who have read them will likely get more out of the stories in this anthology. I did not read past Kim Harrison's story as I feel like it'd be better for me to read the read the series they belong to first. Based on the way these stories are written I don't think you have to read the series first, it's just my personal preference."
